About this book

Focus on body safety: Use clear, simple language and concrete examples. Teach them the correct names for body parts, especially private areas. Good touch vs. bad touch: Explain the difference between touches that feel good (like a hug from a loved one) and touches that feel bad or uncomfortable. “No” means no: Reinforce that they have the right to say no to any touch that makes them uncomfortable, even from someone they know. Safe vs. unsafe adults: Explain that most adults are safe, but if someone touches them in a bad way or makes them feel scared, they need to tell a trusted adult. Role-playing: Practice saying "no" and how to get help in different scenarios. Visual aids: Use pictures, dolls, or social stories to illustrate concepts. Open communication: Create a safe space for them to talk about anything that bothers them, with no promises to keep secrets.
